Blocked Drains York

At Blocked Drains York, we've seen our fair share of clogged toilets in the York area. One common culprit behind these blockages is tissue paper. But can tissue really block the toilet, and how can you fix the issue?

Toilet tissue is designed to break down in water, but excessive use or the wrong type of tissue can cause problems in your plumbing system. When tissue accumulates in the drain, it can form a blockage that prevents water from flowing freely. This can lead to a range of issues, from slow-draining toilets to complete blockages.

If you suspect that tissue is blocking your toilet, there are a few steps you can take to fix the issue. First, try using a plunger to create suction and dislodge the blockage. If this doesn't work, you may need to use a drain snake or call a professional plumber to clear the blockage.

To avoid tissue blockages in the future, it's essential to use the right type of tissue and to use it in moderation. Look for tissue that is designed to break down quickly in water, and avoid using too much tissue at once. You should also consider installing a new toilet with a more efficient flushing system.

While tissue is a common cause of blocked toilets, it's not the only culprit. Other items that can block your toilet include:

• Wet wipes
• Soap
• Sanitary products
• Excess toilet paper
• Foreign objects (such as toys or jewelry)

To keep your toilet in good working order, it's essential to perform regular maintenance. This includes:

• Cleaning the toilet regularly
• Checking the toilet's water level
• Ensuring the toilet is properly installed
• Using a toilet lock to prevent children from flushing foreign objects
